Is calling others retarded okay too? None of that runs in my family but there may be others here it may offend.

Probably not. We recognize a joke.

Lighten up Francis. Better yet, go away.

I’ve been here for over 20 years and don’t plan to go away.

“Is calling others retarded okay too? “

TLS

Did not see your entire discussion. In this case I agree with boycott.

Imagine a Freeper has a 30 year old Child with Rett syndrome or Cerebral Palsy; that child requires 24 hour a day care including feeding and hydration, and will require constant supervision as long as they live. That person’s life has been reduced to working and caring for your child and they have to rely on others for any respite care.

The parent already feels grief and profound loss at their child’s “retardation”. His or Her child will never be normal, will never experience things like riding a bike, graduating college, getting married, playing ball, running across a field, may not even be able to say your name, say mama, papa.

Qtards, retards, idiots, brain damaged.

So...that Freeper has to listen to the central tragedy their and their child’s life used as a cheap and thoughtless insult learned in 4th grade from a bully on a playground now thoughtlessly repeated by adults on places like FreeRepublic.

So more hurt and concerned for their child’s future than offended. They want to interact with adults but are constantly reminded of their situation instead.

Since Lent, Sort of relevant.

Matthew 5:22
“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

(Here endth the lesson.)
